Today, I clicked on the 'new sweepstakes' link on www.sweepstakestoday.com and a new Firefox tab opened for reimageplus website. There were 2 options boxes on the page (one was 'leave the page'). I clicked on that link but the page would not close.

We have not seen any problems of late as you describe. Firefox has made some security changes this year with their security. I suspect this might be what you are seeing. I would suggest to check to see what your security setting is for Firefox. If you have too high of a security setting in the browser. The other thing to try is to change browsers and see if the problem exist.

Last you might have run into a corrupt cookie. I would suggest to clear out your cookies then log back in. This might be the problem if Firefox is working then.

Yesterday I started getting a popup that says Microsoft PC Repair. It immediately starts trying to download. I am trying to find a way to get rid of it. Any suggestions would be appreciated because I am technology challenged when it comes to these issues.

Google this:

malwarebytes - free version

It'll sit dormant/inactive on your computer and won't do anything until you ask it to run a scan. It won't interfer with any other security suite you're using.

I use Norton Internet Security and Malwarebytes located and removed malware that Norton missed.

You can also try Sophos Virus Removal Tool - it's free too. It also sits inactive until you ask it to run a scan. It has found and deleted malware that Norton missed. Stanford and some other colleges make Sophos available to the students, though it's a different version.

Google security suites. There are many that you can download, run and then uninstall and they won't cost anything. You don't want to keep two active security suites on your computer. They'll often interfer with each other, so if you use one make sure to uninstall it when you're done.

Neither Malwarebytes or Sophos will interfer with your existing security suite, as they aren't "live" until you ask them to run a scan. When the scan is finished they'll go dormant again once you close them.

I ran malwarebytes - free version as curmudgeon2 suggested and it did not find anything. However, the Microsoft message hasn't popped up since I ran the malwarebytes. Hopefully the popup has disappeared. Thanks again curmudgeon2.

I guess I spoke too soon. I went for over a day without the Microsoft thing popping up, but this afternoon when I clicked on the New Sweepstakes tab, it popped up again. It continued to pop up each time I clicked the New tab. I'll try Sophos and see if that works.

We have not made any structural changes to NEW in years. Maybe something cosmetic in appearance but even that has been a while.

I am thinking if you have run several security scans of your computer, the next likely problem is your privacy settings in your browser. It is possible Firefox might have changed their settings for their browser or found something on a ST page that is setting off the security warnings. I simply am guessing at this point.

I would try a different browser. Go to Microsoft Explorer and see if you have problems. If so, then the problem is on your computer. if not then the problem is Firefox.

The malware is coming into my computer when I click on the above Mr. Sweepy Forum,when I click on it I am getting all kinds of malware, pc repair, update to Firefox etc. I will not be coming back into the Mr. Sweepy Forum until the issue is solved. I can enter my sweepstakes and go into other sections of this site without any problems. I had just had my computer cleaned of the malware and come right back here and picked it up again.

I have been using IE with no problem. This AM I used Firefox and got the same pop-up that others are complaining about. This happened (twice) when I moved from My lucky list to New sweeps. I cleared cookies etc. and returned using IE and got no pop-ups.
